Module FE5NAR131A Module The FE5NAR131A Module incorporates 5G New Radio technology with available 1TX x 2RX Antenna technology. The NAD is part of a family of proprietary embedded 5G wireless modules designed by Continental Automotive Systems, Inc. The modules are intended to be integrated into Data Connectivity Modules (DCMs) or Head Units (HUs) designed and produced by Continental or by a 3 party for use by automotive OEMs.

If Continental chooses to re-use modular approval, then the TCU shall be clearly labeled with an external label containing the integrated modem’s FCC IC ID. For example, the label can include text “Contains device with FCC ID: LHJ-FE5NAR131A and IC: 2807E- FE5NAR131A”. Internal...
3.00 dBi ⚫ NR Band n77(HPUE): This radio transmitter (FCC ID: LHJ-FE5NAR131A; IC: 2807E- FE5NAR131A) has been approved by FCC and Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
NAD Module Specification Instructions to OEMs: Continental must instruct the automotive OEM and provide them to include the following information into the car user’s manual (i.e., for the DCM): End-users must be provided with transmitter/antenna installation requirements and operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance: 2.
NAD Module Specification Example of NAD Module Label Figure 4-1: NAD Label Example NAD Module RF Characteristics All RF parameters are referenced at the antenna terminals of the NAD. The RF performance of the parent device (i.e. TCU) can differ depending on the additional line losses – as well as the impedance match – presented to each of the NAD's antenna terminals.
NAD Module Specification For most bands. Some exceptions exist, based on 3GPP standard. For antenna ports that are HPUE capable on specific LTE and 5G NR bands. Allowance for reduction in maximum transmitter power is specified in the 3GPP standard for GSM multi- slot operation (MSPP=0).

NAD Module Specification Storage and Handling Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) All NAD modules are moisture sensitive and should be kept in their sealed moisture resistant bags until ready for assembly onto the DCM via the soldering process. Any parts that are not used immediately should be properly resealed in the same moisture resistant bag using appropriate equipment or placed into a dry box until they are needed again.
NAD Module Specification Material Statement: The End-of-Life Vehicle Directive (EVL) must be applied to the FE5NAR131A module. This means that the component is included into the overall vehicle (since it is permanently installed) and if the explanation of the materials used and, if applicable, disposal descriptions from the vehicle manufacturer.
